Zhao Wanyong, who was discussing longevity materials with Li Xizhu and Lin Shangwo in the government office, always felt uneasy, his heart was beating and he couldn't stop.

"Are you worried about something?" Lin Shangwo was thoughtful and could see that Zhao Wanyong was not thinking.

"It's not that big of a deal, I always find it hard to settle down." Zhao Wanyong waved his hand, but only he knew what he was thinking.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao is having a hard time calming down? I've been feeling depressed since I woke up last night, but I don't know why." Li Xi put down his tea cup, a little surprised.

This is strange. Zhao Wanyong and Li Xizhu were uneasy at the same time. Could it be that the soil and water in Incheon are not good? Will drinking it here make people irritable?

"This is strange. To be honest, I woke up last night, but after thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with it." Lin Shangwo looked at the two people in front of him.

"Prince, there is a messenger coming from Hanyang, saying that there is something important." A family member outside the door came to report.

It turns out that Ying is in Hanyang!

"Quick pass!" Li Xizhu stood up suddenly, feeling his heart beating wildly.

"Master Tongzong, there was a military turmoil in Hanyang last night. Lord Fuyuan was nowhere to be found, and there was a massacre in the city. Generals, please Lord Tongzhi lead troops into the city quickly to preside over important events!" Seeing that there were three people in the hall, the messenger spoke urgently and urgently. quick.

"What!" the three of them said in unison.

The three of them did not know the news that Hong Jinglai and Jin Shilong had died in the battle. At this moment, the other members of the Li clan were commanding the royalist army. Li Shangxian and Li Shujiu had already entered the palace to strengthen Li?'s determination. Originally, Li? They also thought that it was enough to deprive Hong Jinglai of his military power and send him away two thousand miles away.

However, Li Shujiu and Li Xianghuang knew that this was not realistic at all. In their hearts, Li Shu felt grateful for Hong Jinglai's contribution to supporting Yi Dai and felt that there was no need to kill them all. However, they knew that if Hong Jinglai was not dealt with, there would be no way to dismantle the entire Hong clan politics in Fengshan. .Only when Hong Jinglai dies, and he has no legal heir, and the generals are leaderless, can they divide and win over, or destroy and kill them. In the end, power will be returned to the royal family and the royal line will be revitalized.

But they used Jin Pingchun's troops, and when Jin Pingchun found out that Li Xianghuang had killed Hong Jinglai, internal strife immediately broke out. Jin Pingchun just wanted to force Hong Jinglai back, and then resume the rule of king, king, minister, father, father, son, and finally He then returned the power to Hong Jinglai, but now the royalists killed Hong Jinglai, which made him extremely angry.

On the one hand, Jin Pingchun immediately organized his troops and took all the families of Hong Jinglai, Hong Shourong, Min Jingyue and others to the training barracks for protection. On the other hand, he also sent troops to attack Li Xianghuang's troops, vowing to avenge Hong Jinglai.

The situation in Hanyang was strange last night. Li Sangxian's five guards and Jin Pingchun's training troops were not directly related to Hong Jinglai, and their deployment was handled by the two chief officials. Hong Jinglai really couldn't intervene except for installing a civil servant in charge of food. Besides, there was a fire in the palace. , it is the duty of all armies to raise troops to put out fires, and it will not arouse any suspicion.

More than a hundred training soldiers who served as imperial guards in the palace were deliberately mobilized to put out the fire, and were eventually isolated in the palace. In the end, the entire army was annihilated. The palace was completely controlled by Li Sangxian's internal guards.

After Han Sanshi learned about this, he immediately contacted his brother Han Wushi. The two gathered the remaining 500 training soldiers and more than 1,000 robber soldiers from Li Dynasty. They abandoned the west gate and west city and gathered with Hong Conjue at the south gate. At the same time, he asked Li Xizhuo, the commander of the three naval forces in Incheon, for help.

At present, the four of them have gathered more than 3,000 troops. In fact, they have an advantage over the 2,000 or so soldiers of the royalists or the more than 2,000 trained soldiers of Kim Pyong-soon. This is the reason why Hong Jinglai originally had no worries in Hanyang. Unfortunately, they were not sure what was going on in the city and did not dare to send troops rashly. They could only urge Li Xizhu to come back and take charge of the overall situation.

As for Hong Jinglai's family members, when they sent people to look for them, the building was already empty, and even the family servants were nowhere to be seen. A few people beat their chests, and there was Hong Jinglai's child in Xiaobaicai's belly. What if they lost it.

"Beat the drums and blow the conchs, gather the generals, and follow me to the capital to rescue Mr. Fuyuan!" Li Xizhu shouted loudly.

"You don't need to take the waterway, just take the train. You can reach Hanyang in an hour!" Zhao Wanyong immediately suggested.

"That's right, just unload the cannons on the ship and carry them together." Lin Shangwo also had the same idea.

"As it should be!"

There were only four steam locomotives at Incheon Railway Station, and there was no need to talk about the scheduling order at this time. They were all loaded with soldiers, guns and ammunition, leaving a hundred soldiers to guard the camp. Li Xizhu immediately marched into Hanyang.

The generals who still controlled Sungnye Gate in Nancheng knew that reinforcements were coming when they heard the roar of trains and locomotives coming from the south of the Yangtze River. They immediately opened the city gates, collected ferries on the Han River, built pontoons, and prepared to carry troops and horses to Beijing.

This time, together with the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of Li Xizhu and Lin Shangwo, the number of soldiers and horses controlled by Hong Jinglai's side exceeded 6,000. They already had the strength to crush the entire city of Hanyang and could completely clear out the city.

Zhao Wanyong also came forward to recruit Hong Congjue's brave soldiers. At this moment, there are only more than a thousand people in Nancheng. A small number of them were recruited by Li Xianghuang and participated in last night's attack. Others were scattered in the city and did not gather. After all, they were actually They are urban management troops, not real soldiers, and they are all citizens, so we can't have too many expectations.

"What's going on in the city!" Li Xi sat on the front seat holding a golden sword.

As a brother who had known and had a fateful friendship with Hong Jinglai when he was poor and humble, Li Xizhu's official rank was always higher than that of the generals, ranking first among the second-class Jingshe heroes. Compared with Zhao Wanyong of the counselor-civilian system, Zhu The generals are more inclined to Li Xi's work in their hearts. Of course, Zhao Wanyong, as Hong Jinglai's confidant, is also highly praised by the generals.

"It seems that there is a chaotic war going on. There are random soldiers everywhere. We have few soldiers and cannot go deep." Han Sanshi replied.

"Where is the eldest brother? Where are his family members!" Li Xizhu is now in charge of the military power and has the strength to crush him. He just wants to know the whereabouts of Hong Jinglai.

"At first I heard that Mr. Fuyuan died in the battle, but later it was said that someone else died in the battle, and Mr. Fuyuan's family members were also missing."

"Died in battle? Impossible!" Li Xizhu shouted at the crime.

"In the middle of the night, one of Fuyuan Jun's guards was seriously injured and fled to the south gate. He bluntly said that Fuyuan Jun went to the west gate." Hong Congjue shook his head.

"Ximen has never seen Mr. Fuyuan..." Han Wushi waited until dawn before withdrawing his troops and retreating to Nancheng with his brother. There was no trace of Hong Jinglai and Jin Shilong at all.

"When entering the city, any troops and horses in his camp who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy." Li Xi was anxious to enter the city.
